Endless West uses Rippling to streamline tasks and save time

Jess Hazlett
VP of People at Endless West

Automation has been a huge word this year for my team and the whole company. We used to address issues as they came up without a longer-term solution. Now, we want to focus on using software that’s sustainable for growth.

The headcount planning product is really going to help us grow this year. As we grow, we want to ensure that we have the right approvals for the people asking for additional headcounts.

Wavemakers share insights to empower their peers

Rippling gives Jasper the free time to foster cross-functional collaboration

Cassandra Margolin
Head of People Operations at Jasper

I like to share data with our whole org of how the team is doing. When people can be like, ‘oh, everybody is actually saying that they’re really happy here,’ it can really change the culture.
